Although this online service through Zsnes has been offered for awhile now I just recently got into playing SNES games online with friends that dont live close to me anymore. They took compatibility for what they called netplay out in the latest versions of the emulator due to instability mainly, but if you get the 1.42 version and set it up successfully you can still play one of many games over the internet with friends. All you both need is the same emulator, rom (with the same file name), and a host (one of the two players, router configuration will probably be needed.)
Read on for more information, a step by step guide, and a list of all working games.

Since the beginning as I first made my discover of what emulators and roms were, I have been plagued with using a keyboard to play them. I did know there were USB controllers you could get at various electronics stores I just never brought myself to be able to put out the money for them. The other day I was wondering if you could simply hook a PS3 controller up to a computer and get it working. After a little research I found that people had already figured it out by replacing the original USB HID drivers with an open source version called libusb. There were some issues with this (peoples mouses and keyboards stopped working, and Vista users could not use this method) but after awhile I came by an article with all the information I needed. Apparently, a Chinese programmer created a PS3 controller driver that works with peoples standard USB HID. He called it Six Axis Driver (click here to get the download). Unfortunatley this only works in the 32bit version of Windows.
